The camera glides through the electric chaos of Echo Crest High's main hallway, landing on the epicenter of the scandal: Silas Reed, frozen before the evidence of his own ruin. The air hums with whispers. Then, a shadow cuts across the fluorescent light. Caleb Vance leans against the chipped lockers, a cigarette dangling from his lips, smoke weaving through his sharp grin.
